#HIT-NEXT | Changing Healthcare Through Technology

“90% of the world’s data was created in the last two years. 80% of the data is unstructured.
1 Trillion connected devices generate 2.5 quintillion bytes of data/day.”
– Marty Kohn, MD

Welcome to #HIT-NEXT 2018

The healthcare industry is growing exponentially with data and information. New technologies such as artificial intelligence hold promise for a new paradigm of healthcare. However, data does not often translate to wisdom. New developments aren’t yet coming together in a way that can be useful enough for healthcare providers and their patients.

At #HIT-NEXT 2018, we are bringing together like-minded thought leaders in health IT.

We are creating a platform for open debates, exchange of ideas and critical thinking on issues surrounding healthcare technology.

Why attend #HIT-NEXT

A quality mix of international speakers and industry experts sharing experiences, advances and insights on how will technology shape our industry and stakeholders in the future.

Engage, collaborate and connect with experts at the forefront of medical innovation and healthcare technology.
